    Trading Hammers (revisited)

    Nihaba, could you point out where you would enter the NQ (and where your stop loss would be)? Thanks. :) <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=854451>

    Trading Dummies

    inCom, for ABP the stop loss should have been closer to $7.10 right? Was it slippage that got you out a bit lower? ------------------------------- Today, among others I was watching TIE (nod to Stephen Vita for pointing it out) and looking for a good long entry (due to its bullish daily...

    As Apex said, please keep posting. I don't really care what handle you use, ayk, rubber, etf, etc. you're transparent enough and you're a better fade than Cramer.

    Hedge funds guys top NYC Salary Guide

    Holmes, I agree. I know consultants (Monitor, McK, Merce and BCG). The only thing they share in common is that they are the best at BS. And the only way to move up is to backstab and manipulate (the up or out agenda combined with comparative evaluations makes sure of that). Its an organizational...

    30 minute bar trading using Grob/Hershey method

    I invited Jack to come in and show us in real time in the ET chat. I even said I would donate his YM winnings to the Red Cross in his name. He derided me and hurled an insult. That's the kind of emotional maturity and self confidence you look for in a guru, isn't it?

    Greenspan - Best Story teller since Walt Disney

    Oh really? So all the others like Buffett, Shiller, Grant, were what? chopped liver? Shiller by the way talked to Greenspan and in his attempt to persuade him that there indeed was a bubble lent him the famous 'irrational exuberance' phrase. You thought he came up with that himself? How...

    No need to 'rip' on Cramer. He provides the noose to hang himself. Just write down any call he makes when the veins are popping and revisit it in a leisurely way in the future.

    Greenspan - Best Story teller since Walt Disney

    Greenie is very very smart. Politically smart, that is. He knows jack shit about economics but he can leverage social power like nobody. That's how he got to where he is. He knew there was a bubble way back (newly uncorked Fed archives prove it). He even used the B word and said that the way...

    Trading Dummies

    CTIC came up on the scanner in early morning and it was on fire. Stocks like this usually do not give dummies entries because they just don't pause - definitely not for what would allow a 15 min. counter trend candle to form. You can either forget them, or switch to a lower time frame and get in...

    Trading Dummies

    NTES was on the scanner in the morning but did not give any follow thru. It fell and didn't give a dummy entry long until much later - and that didn't work out too well either. In hindsight, it would have been a great short.

    Trading Dummies

    LCC is the new airline ticker (low cost carrier - cute, eh?) and it had its first day of trading today. It offered a long dummy trade at noon and a short dummy trade around 1:00 pm (if you reversed from the long). Very unusual.

    Altucher

    James, doesn't Cramer still have his porftolio (what does he call it?) where he lets people know what he's buying/selling for a price? or did he stop that service? I can understand you being diplomatic but he repeatedly makes horrendous calls. His mid May bashing of oil stocks right at their...

    Best advisor on Elite

    You know what would be useful? to have a way to 'rate' for reputation for each person. That way, you just look up the person with the highest rating. You could also avoid those with the lowest. Might help the quality of ET as peers pressure would cut down on the jibba-jabber.

    IB Suggestions & Improvements

    Two new ideas: 1] Please put the name of the security on the chart somewhere (along with the ticker) 2] Give us the ability to combine the parameters used in the mkt scanner filters. For example, I'd like to see 'hot volume' AND 'top trade count' as a combined filter (this would avoid a...

    Did P/C ratio reach 1.44?

    vhen, thanks for posting that. I'm looking at this: http://www.iseoptions.com/marketplace/statistics/sentiment_index.asp and I can't see any usefulness. For example, look at April/May 2005. Nothing, flat. In any case, its the complete picture that is important, not one single element...

    P&F Charts

    gummy, I don't look at PnF charts but do rely on bullish % (as derived from PnF charts). They're pretty useful for long/intermediate term trends.
